Doves

5 years since they last swooped into our ears, Jimi Goodwin and the Williams Bros reemerge with a grand, sweeping epic that puts us in mind of their finest wares, albeit beefed up with an extra, cinematic sheen.

Physically unanchored, waving off a totem of their shared past and facing personal mountains to climb, a new, intense, filmic, classic Doves album was carefully nurtured. Signing off their last chapter with the release of 2020’s boundary-pushing 'The Universal Want', the release of 'Renegade' concludes a patchwork of writing and recording sessions that began in the same year. Reading from the same page on their new single’s sense of dystopian drama, all three Doves own sense of change, uncertainty and determination pervades the intricate, Goodwin-fronted collage of cinematic sound.
